International Data Center Leader to Bring Together Cybersecurity and Compliance Experts in Washington, D.C

QTS to host its third annual Information Security & Compliance Forum (ISCF) from 8:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. on April 20, 2016 at Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C. The event will address a wide range of emerging cybersecurity issues and mitigation strategies, including the importance of maintaining data compliance.

The REIT has positioned itself to disrupt the MTDC supply dynamics in downtown Chicago. It will begin to lease wholesale datacenter space this summer in the currently underserved market.

For years downtown Chicago’s constrained supply of multi-tenant datacenter (MTDC) space has been well known throughout the industry. Numerous MTDC providers and commercial real estate firms have promoted datacenter projects to address this supply deficit, but none of them have come to fruition – stymied either by political opposition to new builds or by the requirement to prelease a substantial amount of space to an anchor tenant. QTS Realty Trust is the latest to enter the fray, as it prepares to open the first phase of its new mega wholesale datacenter in mid-summer 2016.

QTS has received Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) High Authorization and Accreditation at its Dallas-Fort Worth data center for physical and environmental services. FISMA requires each federal agency to develop, document and implement an agency-wide program to provide security for the information systems and data that support its operations, including the systems of government contractors.
